I wonder if they will rotate the selection of magazines over time so that it will not work as a replacement for any single magazine subscription.
I hope they rotate the book selections at least, right now I see exactly zero books or magazines I'm interested in.

How does one use this feature? The page on Amazon just seems to describe it.
Here's the full catalog:

https://www.amazon.com/b/ref=pr_br_r...sktop-prime-pr

From the Prime Home Page you pick Prime Reading:

https://www.amazon.com/kindle-dbs/fd...7691cc3065be28

Different options include BROWSE THE CATALOG.
Other options go to magazines, comics, shorts.

One option is View my library. It lists what you have checked out. Just like KU you get to check out up to 10 titles at a time.

I would like to read the magazines as well. Something different and included with Prime.

To me it seems that Amazon doesn't give a crap about it's business outside the US. The US gets better prime, better selections on prime, and gets all new website features first.

Thanks. Is this only for the primary Prime member? I'm on my wife's membership, and I don't see the "read free with Prime" button option.

Are the magazines new for Kindle Unlimited? Or could we always borrow those? I checked one out via the Prime Reading list. It counts as one of my KU borrows. And shows up in MY KU.

According to the main KU page magazines are a new feature.

It's taken two years for us to get the Echo so I won't hold my breath. I think Amazon have less competition over here so they can afford to delay new features.

I saw one report that said so.

I saw another that said adding you under "manage your household" will let you share.

Try it and see what happens.

Does it also show up on your Prime reading library? You can get to it from manage your content and devices, or this direct link:

I noticed that they added a new line of information to these magazine web pages, "Subscribers read this issue for free", which pops up this message:

Quote:
Kindle Unlimited Subscribers

Every month we choose a selection of top magazine issues for you to enjoy as part of your Kindle Unlimited membership.
So it does appear that they will be switching out magazines each month.

Not booklover, but I have KU also. For me it puts the magazine under my KU subscription. Although I have a drop down for prime reading along with KU, it shows nothing. So I had to return a KU title first before allowing me to get the magazine. I had 10 KU titles checked out. So KU overwrites the prime reading, I do not get any extra borrows. Guess there wouldn't be any point to it.
